Share and Share Alike: Barriers and Solutions to Tutorial Creation and Management

Anne-Marie Deitering, Hannah Gascho Rempel

Abstract

Using data gathered in a nationwide survey, we found the most important barriers to tutorial creation for instruction librarians are time and technological expertise. Drawing on our experience extending the content management system used to build class pages and subject guides, we suggest using a content management system, like Library à la Carte, or LibGuides to build tutorials suggests a path around these common barriers.
